Consistent Performance with a Strong Finish Jose Cruz demonstrated a steady performance in the 2025 Phoenix Marathon Half Marathon, achieving an overall time of 2:09:17. Consistency was evident in splits like miles 6 (9:49 min/mile) and 7 (9:36 min/mile), maintaining a commendable average pace of 9:52 min/mile over the 13.1-mile course. Notably, Jose picked up the pace significantly at mile 9, clocking a split time of 9:16. This effort helped him finish in 1071st place out of 2723 participants, placing 80th in his division (M35-39). While Jose's performance was consistent, there was a noticeable slowing down at mile 11 with an 11:43 split pace. It might be beneficial to focus on even pacing during longer stretches or practice intervals to sustain a uniform pace through all segments. As part of the Bone Crushers team, Jose's performance contributed to their collective effort admirably. Keep up the great work on maintaining consistency and consider strategies to even out those brief slowdowns.
